I don’t see how prop drilling is an anti pattern. Passing data around via props is a feature of the library, it’s totally fine if you need to pass a lot of props.
If you really have too many props or need to widely disperse the same prop you can refactor using higher order components or use a context. A separate state management library isn’t necessary unless you are building something with a ton of complex UI state like a photo editor or a music production workbench.
Prop drilling refers to depth, not width - you had to add the props to every intermediate component between where the state is stored and where it's used. Some of us tried to come up with nested usage patterns so at least the intermediate components didn't need to know about the structure and it wouldn't be a pain when moving things around, but it still wasn't very good.
